EGO POWER+ 21-inch Select Cut Push Mower Kit review

The EGO LM2133 is a 21-inch Select Cut push mower sold as a kit with one 5.0 Ah 56V ARC Lithium battery and a Rapid Charger. That package separates it from the tool-only LM2130, which has no battery or charger, and the LM2135 kit, which lists a larger 7.5 Ah pack with a Rapid Charger. LM2133 is still operator-propelled: the included battery does not add self-propelled drive.

A complete push-mower kit, not a self-propelled model

The exact EGO configuration row names LM2133 and lists the 5.0 Ah battery and Rapid Charger as included. If you are starting without EGO batteries, that is the practical advantage over LM2130. It also gives the finder a hard distinction: a need for one included battery pack can pass LM2133 but must reject the bare-tool LM2130. If you already own compatible 56V batteries, the battery bundle may be less important than deciding whether a push mower suits the way you move around the yard.

This model uses operator-powered travel rather than a drive motor. You guide and push it around each pass. That makes it different from LM2130SP or LM2135SP, which use Touch Drive self-propulsion. Choose the latter only if powered walking assistance is essential; selecting “push only” should keep LM2133 on the list and exclude the self-propelled versions. The 21-inch deck is a common walk-behind width, but measure the whole mower’s access route and folded storage space rather than relying on the cutting width alone.

Cutting options and the exact blade package

EGO’s page describes Select Cut with a mulching blade, a high-lift bagging blade and an extended-runtime blade, plus an upper blade used with the selected lower blade. Its explicit included-blade bullet lists the mulching and extended-runtime blades and the upper blade, but leaves the high-lift blade out. The linked manual for the underlying LM2130 family names an EGO high-lift bagging blade in its packing list, although its cover does not list the LM2133 kit code. Because the current package page and the family manual do not establish the kit contents identically, do not treat a high-lift blade as confirmed for the LM2133 carton if its inclusion is essential; check the exact seller package.

The mower supports mulching, bagging and side discharge, and EGO lists a two-bushel bag. Those are alternate configurations that require the appropriate insert, bag or chute; they are not simultaneous functions. The current product page lists one-handed height adjustment across a 1–4-inch range and eight height positions in its technical specifications. A promotional paragraph on the same page says seven positions, while the linked LM2130 manual also lists eight; consult the manual’s settings rather than treating the marketing sentence as precise.

What a 5.0 Ah pack can—and cannot—tell you

The 5.0 Ah pack is a real package difference, but it does not reveal how much lawn one charge will cut. The manual table for the BA2800T/BA2800T-FC family battery—BA2800T is the battery code shown beside LM2133 on EGO’s configuration page—gives approximate LM2130-family times of 45 minutes at light load, 35 at medium load and 20 at heavy load. EGO says conditions such as grass type, moisture and density change actual runtime. EGO’s current mower page separately advertises up to 65 minutes when using a recommended 7.5 Ah battery; that larger pack is not what LM2133’s configuration row includes. The older US catalog lists up to 45 minutes with 5.0 Ah and up to 60 with 7.5 Ah for the LM2130/LM2133 family. Keep these conditional figures tied to their packs and sources, and do not convert them into acres per charge.

LM2133’s charger is identified as Rapid, but the exact current configuration row does not publish wattage. EGO’s warranty copy lists limited coverage periods of five years for the tool and three years for the battery; read the current warranty terms and retailer eligibility for the exact purchase. The exact row was marked Coming Soon when checked, so availability is not established here.

Deck, handling and maintenance

EGO’s US product catalog identifies the LM2130/LM2133 family deck as poly. The linked manual lists the base push mower at 50.3 pounds without a battery and with the mulch insert; the 5.0 Ah pack adds weight when you lift or transport the whole setup. The exact kit page identifies a brushless motor, LED lights, folding storage and IPX4 weather resistance. None makes this a riding mower or removes the need to steer, clear obstacles and work within the manual’s limits.

The manual’s cover is for LM2130/LM2130-FC and related Select Cut models rather than the retail kit code LM2133. It does provide the base mower’s operating guidance: avoid wet grass and slopes over 15 degrees; stop the motor, wait for the blade to stop and remove the battery before clearing or changing attachments. During cleaning, it says not to put water on the motor fan and to wipe the mower with a damp cloth. Confirm the current instructions packaged with the exact kit, especially before blade changes or maintenance.

When LM2133 is the sensible shortlist choice

Choose LM2133 if you want a 21-inch push mower with one 5.0 Ah battery and Rapid Charger in the listed package, and self-propelled travel is not a requirement. It offers the named kit contents that LM2130 omits, without a claim that the included pack will finish a particular yard. Compare LM2135 if you require the 7.5 Ah kit, LM2130 if you have your own compatible battery and charger, or LM2130SP if you want Touch Drive rather than push-only movement. Use the full model code in any retailer search; each option changes the package or how the mower moves.
